The final round of La Liga takes place on the afternoon of May 21, but it doesn't kick off at the same time.

Barcelona's game was the first one, perhaps because they reached the Champions League final, so the Spanish Football Federation made it to the first place to finish the league season so that they could devote themselves to the preparation for the Champions League final.

Pep Guardiola opted to bring more substitutes into the game, but Messi started the game.

In the end, Barcelona beat Malaga 4-1 away from home, with Messi scoring the second goal for the team.

He was substituted in the 77th minute, and Pep Guardiola was already preparing for the Champions League final, allowing an important player like Messi to be rested early and avoiding the possibility of injury.

Messi's goal was also his 33rd goal in the league this season, but he still couldn't match Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored 41 goals, and finished second in the league's scorer charts.

The final round of the Premier League kicks off at the same time, on the afternoon of 22 May, a day later than La Liga.

Manchester City take on Bolton Wanderers away.

Benitez made some changes to the starting line-up for this game, and like Pep Guardiola, he did not line up the strongest line-up, but Glory and Ibrahimovic still started.

With goals from both of them, Manchester City beat Bolton Wanderers 2-0 away and really ended the season unbeaten in the league.

It is also their 55th consecutive unbeaten league game!

But there wasn't much to celebrate, because the Champions League final was coming up.

In the face of the Champions League final, what league unbeaten and what 55-game unbeaten record is not so important now......

The goal scored by Glory in the game was also his 37th league goal of the season.

He is still the Premier League's Golden Boot, but in the European Golden Boot race, he lost to Cristiano Ronaldo, who the whole team desperately supported.

However, Rongguang's mind is not on the European Golden Boot now, he has won a lot of European Golden Boots, and he is now more concerned about the Champions League.

Thirty-seven goals is already a career-high league goal high.

The Premier League and La Liga are all over, and with the two teams preparing for the Champions League, the whole of European football has also entered the Champions League time.

The media is talking about the preparations for the Champions League final, focusing on the form of the two leading stars, Glory and Messi, and worrying about the injury situation in both teams.

From the end of the Premier League, there are six full days left until the Champions League final, which is almost a week.

The Premier League finishes a day later than La Liga, so Manchester City will have one less day to prepare than Barcelona.

However, this season's Champions League final is played at Wembley Stadium in England, which is in London, and Manchester City is more convenient to go to London than Barcelona to London, and can also suffer less hardship from traveling.

But Barcelona had already taken a countermeasure, and after the league had just ended, they did not celebrate the league title, so they went north en masse, arrived in London a week early, stayed in a local five-star hotel, and borrowed Arsenal's training base for training - they did not borrow Chelsea's training base, because they knew that Chelsea would definitely not lend them it. Since Jose Mourinho took over, Chelsea and Barcelona have met in the Champions League on a number of occasions, each time with sparks splashing and the hatred between the two sides accumulating year by year. It finally reached its peak in the 2008-2009 season.

Barcelona's away game against Chelsea in the Champions League quarter-finals was full of controversy, and the Chelseans are still very unhappy with Barcelona, how could they lend their training base to Barcelona for the Champions League final?

Although Arsenal's training base is a little further away from Wembley Stadium, it is already Barcelona's best choice in London - Tottenham Hotspur and clubs such as Fulham and West Ham United are clearly not worthy of the European champions......

In this way, in fact, the conditions for Barcelona's training camp are a little better than Manchester City's.

Manchester City, on the other hand, did not come to London for training in advance, on the one hand, they are in the same country, so there is no need to go in advance. On the other hand, there are not too many conditions in London for Manchester City to train. Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City all have a grudge and they will not be willing to help them. Similarly, Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United, and Fulham have training bases that are far inferior to those of Manchester City, and it is better to be in your own Carrington than to go to an unfamiliar training base to get used to the venue.

City simply decided to leave for London two days before the final, and then stay in their London hotel to get used to the turf at Wembley Stadium.

Before the game, there was another exciting news for Manchester City players, that is, the Abu Dhabi Foundation, the consortium behind Manchester City FC, announced that if Manchester City can finally win the Champions League, then every Manchester City player will receive at least one million pounds in bonuses!

As soon as the news came out, it shocked the whole of Europe, and then spread all over the world, scaring fans all over the world.

What is this concept?

A million pounds of money is usually preceded by a phrase like "shared by the whole team".

And it's not all big teams that can get it. Most of them are hundreds of thousands, and being able to score points for a team can be regarded as rich and generous, and the boss is generous.

After Rongguang helped Bayern Munich win the Champions League, Bayern Munich gave a bonus plan of 500,000 euros per person, which is half of Manchester City.

Real Madrid, which has been pursuing the tenth crown, has set a standard of 400,000 euros per person for winning the Champions League, which is worse than Bayern Munich. This may explain why Real Madrid have not won the 10th Champions League title so far.

Perhaps only Messi alone can compare with today's Manchester City, after Barcelona won the championship in 2009, Messi received the highest 1.15 million euros in the team, which is close to 1 million pounds. But you must know that Messi is the number one contributor to Barcelona's championship, and Manchester City's one million bonus is the minimum standard, which means that a substitute player in Manchester City will get a little more than Messi...... How can this really make Messi embarrassed?

Even the "Water Cooler Keeper" has a million pounds in prize money, which is simply too good to make......

Some players ridiculed Manchester City's bonus plan on their personal social networks, saying that they don't know if Manchester City still needs people now? They are willing to join for free......

However, City's move has been met with more criticism.

Many media believe that Manchester City's move is suspected of deliberately flaunting their wealth, and where did they get the prize money they took out alone? Are they doing something that goes against the fiscal fairness policy that Platini is about to pursue in European football?

Even some of the pro-Manchester City media outlets have dismissed the Abu Dhabi consortium as "pig teammates". Because this huge prize money attracts everyone's attention, but it weakens the gold content of the players' efforts. At that time, even if Manchester City wins the championship, it will be considered by public opinion to be smashed by money, and it will be difficult to convince the public.

Originally, if this amazing prize money was not given, or the amount of the prize money was set in line with the mainstream rules, then Manchester City won the championship, I am afraid no one can find fault with it, but now doing so makes his victory seem less convincing.

They don't understand why the Abu Dhabi consortium wants to stick a lever and come out to save a sense of zài.

“…… Middle Easterners are flaunting their oil wealth again...... Truth be told, every time they do, my dislike for City deepens...... Originally, Manchester City's performance this season was very good, and it deserves everyone's respect and love, but now they are doing it like this, which makes people feel disgusted by eating flies, and the flies are still alive! ”

On a TV show, a guest vomits into a TV camera.

"Can you be willful if you have money? Can money trample on our dignity at will? I think this bonus decision of the Abu Dhabi consortium is completely to mock the poor people, and tell them that you are not rich as Lao Tzu! Lao Tzu can use it however he wants, and the poor people can't control it! But I have to say that the world of football is really not about money! I'm an Englishman, but now I want Barcelona to win! ”

On a radio program, an enthusiastic listener called the hotline and expressed his attitude with righteous indignation.

On social networks, the discussion about this bonus is even louder.

Countless people express their views in the online world, and because of the lack of oversight, these views are mostly extreme and full of all kinds of profanity.

It's basically all cursing at Manchester City, and there are even those stars in it.

Cruyff also wrote in the media criticising City's approach: "That's why I've always disliked Manchester City. No matter how good their grades are, I won't like them. Because they are the enemies of football all of Europe! If Manchester City wins the Champions League, it will be tantamount to telling the world - the most valuable championship in world football can also be customized by money! As long as you have the money, you are free to insult and trample on other teams who have worked hard to get this championship. As long as you have the money, you can come to the Champions League and make a splash! As long as you have money, nothing can't be done...... If Manchester City do win the title in the end, then I would say it is unfortunate that it will be the darkest day of European football, because Manchester City's success means a regression for European football! ”

The article is harshly worded, and it is clear that Cruyff was very emotional when he wrote it.

With his status in European football, this article attracted a lot of attention as soon as it came out.

Or "sensational" is more appropriate...... I580
